An Original Vintage Folded World War II Poster (measures 16" x 20" [41 x 51 cm]) (Learn More) Men Wanted! National Defense Program, the 1940 U.S. pre-World War II (WWII) recruitment poster ("Thousand of skilled mechanics and technical and scientific workers are needed by the Federal Government for national defense employment. Good pay, satisfactory hours, and an opportunity to serve the country in highly important civilian jobs! See the United States Civil Service Secretary at any first- or second-class post office for particulars. Do not write or come to Washington. Workers without specialized training are not needed at this time."; "The need is urgent- Act Today!") advertising the United States Civil Service Commission's need to recruit skilled workers. Note that this poster features artwork of an engineer working on a large warship engine. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Note that this is one of 78 very rare posters (including 53 WWI and WWII posters and 18 stage play posters) that mostly date from 1888 to 1945. These were originally acquired by an archive decades ago, and they have been in storage ever since, until they were recently consigned to us. Many of these are the sorts of posters that you can find reproductions of on the Internet, but finding guaranteed originals like these is incredibly difficult (years can go by before these are offered for sale or at auction). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase any of these 78 posters (which even includes a remarkable 1873 P.T. Barnum poster from his "Traveling World's Fair")! Note that in June of 2016, we auctioned around 100 posters that were from this same archive. The 78 posters we are currently auctioning represent most of the remaining posters from this remarkable find (we certainly wish there were lots more, but unfortunately there are not, so this is likely your last opportunity to acquire these great rarities!). Condition: good to very good. There are creases, smudges, and a few small tears around the edges, with tiny paper loss in the bottom left blank corner (see our image).
